Job description
About the role
Your role as a Data Support Officer will be to ensure health research is based on accurate and complete data. You will do this by acting as the ‘face’ of the BRC informatics platform by supporting study teams across the BRC with their use of tools for recording and capturing data, along with data quality monitoring and study management reports. This will entail supporting the data-related needs of the BRC including translating data requirements of study protocols into a specification for data collection tools and developing those tools; data support; roll-out and support of other BRC software tools (including those for sample tracking and SOP management); general IT support; assisting with KPI dashboard development, BRC annual reports and web site updates. The role will be hybrid in-person/remote.
Where necessary you will ensure that tools are fit-for-purpose (e.g. fully tested), adhere to BRC, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and NHS standards of security, governance and data quality, and are fully documented. These activities will require a high degree of focus and attention to detail.

About you
To be a successful Data Support Officer, you will have previous experience in project, research, analytics or data management as well as substantial experience managing sensitive data in a complex, professional setting.
